The Glovers will welcome Jose Mourinho’s side on the weekend of January 26-29, with the game a repeat of the FA Cup third round tie of 2015 which saw the Premier League giants win 2-0.

Demand for tickets will be extraordinarily high, with the game likely to sell out, just as it did three years ago.

It means that if you want to attend the match, you will need to be well organised, and make sure you put yourself in the right place at the right time.

While official ticket information has yet to be released by Yeovil Town , this is what you are likely going to have to do if you want to be at Huish Park for what will promise to be a memorable occasion.

What is the status with ticket information?

The club will not be releasing any ticketing information until the date of the match is confirmed.

With the game likely to be selected for live television coverage, the match could be played on any of the four days between Friday, January 26 and Monday, January 29.

A decision on the date of the match, along with tickets, will likely be taken at some point this week.

Season ticket holders

If you’re a season ticket holder, then you can sit back, relax and look forward to the fixture, knowing that if you want to be at Huish Park on the day, you will have no problem getting yourself a ticket.

As always, with cup fixtures, those with season tickets will be given a grace period in which they can reserve their usual seat in the ground before they are offered out to the public for general sale.

Therefore, all you need to do is ring the ticket office, or turn up in person, and claim your place.

Ticket stub holders

This is where things get a little bit less clear.

In 2015, the club made their FA Cup second replay against Accrington Stanley – which they needed to win to set up the Manchester United tie – and a League One clash with Colchester United “stub games”.

It gave those who purchased tickets for those games and who kept the stubs priority when they went on general sale.

This issue is a little bit more complicated this time, as Yeovil have just two home matches before they face the Red Devils, one of which is a Checkatrade Trophy tie with Forest Green Rovers this evening, and the other, against Chesterfield in League Two, falls the weekend before the fixture.

The club is yet to announce whether stub holders will be given priority this time, but if you attended Yeovil’s third round win over Bradford City, you may want to keep hold of them.

Given the level of demand there will be for this game, it would be a surprise if there was an extra level of priority given to fans who have attended matches this season before they are released to general sale.

If you are not a season ticket holder and do not have any ticket stubs, it may be difficult for you to get a ticket for the match, but do not sorry, for there will be a window where tickets are available on general sale.

With crowds having dropped at Huish Park since the last time Manchester United visited, it is likely that ticket sales will make it this far, which they did not three years ago.

You may be in for a long wait if you have to go down this route to get a ticket though. Last time, queues snaked around the stadium, leaving fans with waits of several hours. Some even pitched up tents in front of the ticket office to make sure they would be first in line.

Due to the opposition, you will almost certainly have to purchase your ticket before the day. Last time, tickets sold out within hours of going on sale to stub holders, so do plan ahead to avoid disappointment.

How much is it likely to cost?

It will not be cheap to buy a ticket to this match.

In 2015, the club hiked the ticket prices for the fixture as a result of demand.

On that occasion, an adult ticket for the Thatchers Gold Stand cost £30, as opposed to the £23 it would cost for a league fixture that season.

Similarly, adult tickets for the Tamburino Stand and Screwfix Stand were £35, a rise from the usual going rate of £25.
